Field Visit (24 October 1995)
A hut-circle, a burnt mound and three discrete groups of small cairns are situated on a heather-covered terrace near the source of the Allt Gortan. A coniferous plantation lies along the front edge of the terrace while the rocky slopes of Creag Mhor rise steeply from the rear of the terrace.
